Week 67: Subscription Billing v2 — Jan 31 – Feb 6, 2026

TL;DR: Complete subscription overhaul: 2-plan system (Starter/Professional), Vapi voice service removed, and trial-to-billing conversion flow rebuilt from scratch.

Highlights This Week

  • Rebuilt subscription system with 2-plan structure (Starter at $49/mo, Professional at $149/mo)
  • Removed Vapi dependency, replacing with self-hosted voice
  • Fixed trial → billing flow for seamless upgrade experience
  • QA agent prompts rewritten for functional testing

Subscription Simplification

The previous multi-tier pricing was confusing for customers. The new 2-plan system is clear: Starter ($49/month) for small teams with core features, and Professional ($149/month) for growing businesses with AI, voice, and integrations. The trial → paid conversion flow now handles edge cases (expired cards, plan changes, seat adjustments).

How It Works

New tenants start with a 14-day trial of Professional. At trial end, they choose a plan. The billing page shows feature comparison, handles plan changes (pro-rated), and manages seats. Stripe handles payment processing with webhook-driven status updates.

What’s Next

GCP deployment and Discourse community launch.
